The heads are intended for 1 and 1.5 mm module
sizes and a number of teeth ranging from 17 to
25. The main application area for the heads is the
efficient production of small and medium batches
of spline shafts.

The use of modern, multitasking CNC machine
tools along with MULTI-MASTER involute profile
milling heads is an excellent cost-effective alternative
to spline hobbing on dedicated hobbing machines.

The milling of blades, especially those made from
difficult-to machine materials such as titanium,
nickel-based alloys or specific heat-resisting
steels, is an application area that has successfully
adopted MULTI-MASTER products. Following
the demands of constant process improvement,
ISCAR introduced new high-flute density tapered
MM ET heads with variable pitch and central
coolant holes for chatter free finishing blade
airfoils. The recommended method of milling
airfoils is by tilting the tool and machining at small
depths of cut. Engraving – it turned out that
applying the MULTI-MASTER to this seemingly
simple operation is really promising. The principle
of a family of different heads that can be mounted
on the same shank makes MULTI-MASTER very
versatile. In regard to engraving, the customer can
use engraving heads in assembly with the existing
shanks, negating the need to purchase a set of
engraving tools.
